What I Love About Little Ones

• They need their "blankies" or stuffed animals with them while they're still waking up.

• They leave their crust behind after eating their sandwich.
  
• They run for a kiss when they fall.


• They make friends simply by asking if another child wants to play.


• They get excited when they can reach a light switch.


• They laugh as quickly as you can distract them from their sadness.


• They smell and feel so good after a bath.


• They sometimes cry when you leave them with others.


• They have made-up names for things.


• They love becoming bigger and older.


• Any kind of weather means they want to go outside.


• They make up with a friend as quickly as they fought.


• Their trust in you is profound.


• They wrap their arms around you when you're feeling down.


• They grin chocolaty smiles and don't care about messes.


• They sing at the top of their lungs in the grocery store.


• They mimic you and want what you have... painted toenails, gum, cooking utensils, a book.


• They can fall asleep in the middle of wherever you are.


• Fireworks and loud noises scare them.


• They need to climb up onto the bathroom counter to brush their teeth.



• They don't care if they're wearing mis-matched clothing.


• A piece of candy makes their day.


• They care about the colour of their drinking cup.


• They loudly announce to you (and everyone else) what they've just accomplished in the public bathroom.


• They believe they will be able to do anything and be anything when they grow up.


• Their faith in God and miracles is simple, sweet and true.
